    A great documentary about how farming should be part of the entire ecosystem. Watching this happen over many years it is heart warming.

    Very good, but it's a tear jerker. You'll root for them and cry with them, but you'll understand that it takes time to develop a self-sustaining as well as profitable farm. As they learn on their journey, so will you. Great documentary.

    Calling this the world's greatest documentary would not be much of an exaggeration. It is singularly intellectual, common sense, heart-warming and hope for the future. I love this couple and their ideals. Can this filmmaker run for president of the world and spread his goodness throughout. Why does it seem that the world is unfortunately not made up of more people like this?

    I thought it was very good and interesting to see how they made the animals and habitat all work together over a 7 year period. If only we could apply what they learned to the real world and find some balance in the environment

    It's a beautifully shot film about two very privileged people who, appallingly, decide to farm when they know absolutely nothing about farming. Apparently the glossy cinematography has allowed many viewers to overlook what they are actually watching. He is chasing coyotes to their deaths, leaving infected animals untreated, letting his chickens be massacred on a nightly basis, and shooting ill animals in the head before he's even sought treatment. My parents are vets in the LA area and I've spent a good deal of time on farms where people actually care for their animals. I can assure you that this is not normal. I was so excited to watch this movie, but now I wish I could unsee it. And what is going to happen to their "perfectly crafted" ecosystem when the water runs out? It's California--we're in a perpetual state of drought, and wells and aquifers don't last forever. The water will run out.
